Something as simple as the yeasty smell of bread baking can make you feel all warm and toasty inside—instant comfort. I recently discovered a decades old cookbook that belonged to my mother-in-law.

Plus, we always get to discover some great new wines and delicious dishes. On a recent segment I featured some tailgating ideas and Two Step Restaurant’s incredible Double-Short Rib. […]

The unofficial end of summer means the cooler temperatures of fall are right around the corner. The changing of the seasons always puts me in the mood for the fare at Farmer’s Markets. Sure, it may still be hot outside, but I love getting out in the mornings in anticipation of a slightly cooler breeze. This […]

To me, pork chops definitely fall into the comfort food category. Growing up my grandmother pan-fried them and served them next to a generous serving of her creamy mashed potatoes. Leftovers were rare back then as we gobbled up every last bite, but nowadays I love a quick & easy remake of last night’s dinner […]
